The first issue of “The Secret Service” opens with a dramatic chase scene, where a member of the Kingsmen rescues Mark Hamill from a group of terrorists, only for Hamill to plunge to his death during the escape. “It literally went right up to the night before the comic was going to the printers,” Millar recalls in the video. “I just remembered I didn’t have [Hamill’s] permission and I didn’t know Mark Hamill. But, luckily, he was a friend of a friend and I managed to get his phone number.”

Hamill, who appears as himself in the comic and is a big comic book fan in real life, shares, “[Millar] said, ‘Basically you’ve been kidnapped as a celebrity and you’re rescued by the Secret Service and there’s this mad pre-title sequence that emulates the ‘Bond’ films where you’re spirited away on a toboggan and there’s this dash down a mountainside in the alps. There’s a spectacular sequence and then you go sailing out over a cliff and plummet to your death.’ Well, that’s unexpected.”
